The Arsenal players in action this weekend amid fixture decision after Queen Elizabeth II death

Following the death of Her Majesty the Queen on Thursday, the Premier League has taken the decision to suspend all matches this weekend. The WSL, EFL and SPL have all followed suit meaning that there will be no games taking place in England or Scotland on Friday, Saturday, Sunday or Monday.

For Arsenal it means that their clash with Everton at the Emirates Stadium has been postponed, and their loanees across the UK will also see their fixtures rescheduled to a different date. Charlie Patino, Auston Trusty, Ainsley Maitland-Niles and Brooke Norton-Cuffy are among the players will not be in action this weekend.

However, when it comes to the Gunners' loanees abroad there are still plenty who will be in action as football continues elsewhere outside the UK. Here football.london takes a look at them.

Several of Arsenal's players have been sent out on loan to France this season and many have made a good start to their spells away from the club. Flo Balogun has managed an impressive five goals and two assists in his opening six matches in Ligue 1 and will be hoping to continue that when his Stade de Reims side take on Toulouse on Sunday afternoon.

Nuno Tavares is another who has enjoyed a fine goal scoring start to life across the Channel managing three strikes in his opening six matches. He'll be keen to add a fourth when Marseille host Lille in a heavyweight clash on Saturday night.

Nicolas Pepe, meanwhile, is yet to get off the mark since completing his late loan move to Nice last month. The Ivorian will be wanting to change that though when Les Aiglons travel to AC Ajacco on Sunday afternoon.

Over in Italy, Pablo Mari has had to endure an injury-hit start to life with Monza, making just two appearances so far. He'll face a difficult task as he seeks to overcome them though with Serie A squad hosting Italian giants Juventus. Runar Alex Runarsson's Alanyaspor host Ankaragucu in the Turkish Super Lig meanwhile.

There is plenty of potential action in Holland for Arsenal fans wanting to keep an eye on their young talents. Omar Rekik, Mika Biereth and Nikolaj Moller will all be hoping to make an impact for Sparta Rotterdam, RKC Waalwijk and FC Den Bosch respectively. Meanwhile in the Spanish second tier fellow Under-21s stars Marcelo Flores and Miguel Azeez will look to make in impact for Leganes and Ibiza in their Segunda Division matches. Both sides are struggling so far and could do with some points on the board.
